This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAID63X80S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAID63X80S in place of this model. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.
Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X80S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X80S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 80mm stroke, G3/8 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAID63X80S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X80S
The AirTAC B06-SID63X80S is a double-acting, double-rod ISO 15552 cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SID63X80S. A rod exits both ends on a single piston, meaning both faces use the rod-side area and push/pull force is equal at 1402 N (@0.5 MPa), 1962 N (@0.7 MPa), and 2523 N (@0.9 MPa). It features a 63mm bore, G3/8 port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions. This SID model is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X80S, which reuses the same ISO 15552 mounting interface and adds an upgraded piston seal with two Y-shaped one-way elements for lower start-up pressure and longer life.
For sizing, the equal-both-ways force yields a safe working load of roughly 841 N (about 60% of the 1402 N @0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 71 kg with a 2:1 margin. The dual-rod design prevents rotation and allows the rear rod to carry a sensor cam for the built-in magnet (-S for legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches). Note that a plain cylinder does not hold loads on air loss; the cushion only decelerates near stroke end. For held loads, use an external rod lock or the SAIL/BSAI lock variants.

Where the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X80S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Applies equal both-ways force for precise, anti-rotation stacking of prismatic battery cells in module assembly, ensuring consistent electrode alignment.
Tab Handling & Transfer
Drives dual-tool pick-and-place mechanisms for battery tab feeding and transfer, using the second rod to carry a sensor cam for exact timing.
Pack Alignment
Squares and aligns battery packs within fixtures during end-of-line packaging, relying on the non-rotating dual-rod output to prevent binding.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X80S with the B06-SAID63X80S
To replace the discontinued B06-SID63X80S, specify the SAID63X80S. It is a true drop-in swap: the same 63mm bore, 80mm stroke, G3/8 port, and ISO 15552 mounting interface (Basic, FA, LB, TC) ensure no bracket changes are needed. Because force is equal both ways, verify your load requirements against the 1402 N (@0.5 MPa) rating, checking neighboring bores (50mm or 80mm) if your application demands a different thrust. Choose a double-rod cylinder when anti-rotation is required or when a second rod is needed to drive a secondary tool or mount a sensor cam. Retain the -S magnet option if position feedback is needed. For this 80mm stroke, side-load concerns are minimal, but for any stroke over 300mm, ensure adequate guide support to prevent rod binding.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → B06-SAID63X80S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac B06-SID Battery Dedicated ISO Standard Cylinder B06-SID63X80S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SID63X80S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAID63X80S. The B06- prefix simply marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the SID63X80S. The SAID replacement shares the same ISO 15552 mounting, 63mm bore, 80mm stroke, G3/8 port, and force, while adding an upgraded piston seal.
Because it is a double-rod cylinder, force is equal both ways: 1402 N @0.5 MPa, 1962 N @0.7 MPa, and 2523 N @0.9 MPa. The bore is 63mm with a G3/8 air port, a 20mm rod, M16x1.5 rod thread, and 30mm adjustable cushions. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
